special prosthetics in Halacha
Is there a jewish perspective on the debate surrounding the amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius? What is Judaism's opinion on advantages in sports, ranging from steroids
I am finishing a degree in nursing in Tel Hashomer. I would like to continue and work there, however I have a lot of questions about the halachic implications, specifically regarding Shabbos. Do you have resources – audio shiurim or a book – that I can use to educate myself on the practical matters of working in Israel in a non-religous hospital? I have a Rav to consult, however I prefer to also be educated myself through reading/learning. The material can be either in English or Hebrew.
Thank you.

The following handbooks by Professor Abraham S. Abraham are useful:
"Halachot for the physician on the Sabbath & Festivals".
"Halachot fir the Patient and Attendant on the Sabbath, Festivals & Yom-Kippur".
The booklets can be ordered from the Schlesinger Institute. Please contact via email: [email protected]
Some chapters of these handbooks are available on the Schlesinger Institute Database.
